Wheat, Oats and Corn All on the Down Grade -V Very Weak Tone Shown in All Hie Grain rits Proi Lslons Decline AVith Corn. CHICAGO A weak tonepervaded nil tho pits at the start and prices took tliodown grade, all grain and products scoring a sharp decline. There was some reaction from the extreme depression, but the prevailing tone was one o" weakness during nearly the en tire session. Wheat was very heavy at tho start. Trado seemed to give a Govermental crop report a decidedly bearish interpretation arid the liquidation und short selling were heavy. The condition of winter wheat is reported far above an average. Cables were c lower for Liverpool and quiet and unchanged on the Continent. From London, it was re ported as impossible to make sales except at concessions, and all American markets were lower and weak, St. Louis 'taking the lead in the decline. There was very little bullish news. New York reported? 30 boat loads taken for export: tho receipts here were largely below the estimates, and tho out inspection -was rather liberal, though the demand for cash wheat w as light. .Inl v started at SiUiSVlHc asrainst 9SJo at the close yesterday. Tho selling pressure wasvervheavv, Jong wncat coming out in large blocks. The result was a slump, amid much excitement, to 96c, with some sates reported at OGJsC At this point heavy buy ing orders from New Voik and St. Louis be gan to come into the pit, and the free cover ing bv shorts, who had been buying in their lines "on the decline, began to make itself felt. The result was an Irregular reaction to 9754c There was another slump near tho clo-, the price dropping to 96c, and it stood at X4c at tho close. It w as a decided bear day in corn, as well as in wheat, and it seemed to bo a race be tween them to decide as to which could go down the faster. The bull clique, which has been resisting the downward pressure for some time, seemed to have withdrawn its support. The frost predicted for most of tho Northwestern corn belt by the signal service for last night did not materialize; on the contrary, the weather was reported fine for tho growing crop. Liverpool prices were Jd lower and receipts were heavier than anticipated; to this was added the slumpiness m wheat. Long corn went over board freely, short sellers were steadily in creasing their lines and confidence was seemingly exhausted. July started at 5G4 57c against 0757Jic at the close yester dav, and sold off rapidly to 55Kc, reacted w Ii.li w heat to 5CXC. and in the final scram ble went down ith that cereal, touching 53c and clo-ing above the bottom. Oats shared in the general demoralization. July started at 42Jj;c, touched 43c, sold off to 41c, reached to 42c, broke to 41c, and closed at the bottom." Provisions followed com rather closely. There was a big slump during the first hour, pork leading in the decline, but there was some recovery later in the day and another drop at the close. September in comparison with yesterday's close shows a loss of 37jC in pork, 7c in lard and ribs. The leading futures ranged as follows, as corrected by John M.

There is property on the market at all prices suitable to the fattest as well as the leanest purse. Good building lots are offered as low as $25. Formerly land in the outer districts was cheap because it was in accessible. The extension of the different railway systems has been of "inestimable value to people of limited means by opening large tracts of land for settlement which would otherwise be truck patches or cattle ranges. This multiplication of acreage and resulting sub-divisions not only maintain tho supply of lots hut also keep prices at a low level, enabling tho industrial classes to acquire homes practically on terms of their own making. No man with a family to care for is justified in renting when he can buy or build a home on payments adjusted to his circumstances; Financial Centers Increasing. The TTciH Street JVetctt in accounting for the strong position of the money market re marks that only a few years ago the Now York banks carried a very considerable proportion of the reserve of the national banks of the entire country. Now as smaller financial centers increase in num ber and importance, less strain is brought upon the associated banks of New York. We are therefore able much more readily to answer a call from abroad, because we have Romany different sources from which to draw. At the same time, the movement of currency is more steady and we have much less violent chances in the condition of the banks in the larger cities. Never before in a similar periodhas so largo an amount of gold been exported with clearings of equal amount and changes from week to week in the condition of the banks so unimportant. An Enviable Position. The United States, at tho end of a half year from the Baring crash, is tho only country in the world whose finance and banking are imperturbed, and which is looking forward with hopeful and prosperous prospects to the coming half year, in which its own crops will be large, foreign demand brisk, and the manufacturing situation favorable to its own industries.

An Almost Featureless Market Some of the Tractions Weaker, but the Majority of the List Practicably Unchanged In side Talk in Regard to Consolidation. Yesterday's local stock market was a small affair, although somewhat better than the day before. There were neither bull nor bear cards to influence speculation. Now York was bearish on London selling. The feature of tho day was a decline in Central Traction to 17 without any reason being given other than connecting it with a real or imaginary combine Citizens' Traction also submitted to a fractional concession. Duqucsne Traction was sold at the decline of Wednesday, 15, but developed a stronger undertone. The rest of the list was feature less and without material change. The following table shows the estimated dally receipts of the passenger railways in Pittsburg: Pass- He- engcrs. celpts. ,.. 3ii,O0O f 1,800 ...30,000 900 ...20,000 1,000 ...18.000 900 ...10,000 800 ...14.000 700 ,..12,0u0 000 ... 8,000 400 ... 4,000 200 ... 4,000 200 Roads. Citizens' Pittsburg P., A. A M Pleasant Valley , Birmingham Duquesne Central West End , Second Avenue Allegheny Traction, The Manchester, if it shall increase in the same ratio as the others when changed from horse cars to motors, will run close up to the Citizens', which means tally 6 per cent divi dends on the stock. Tho other roads, when converted into traction or motor roads, will find about the same improvement in re ceipts. Many persons, as already demon strated, will ride on a fast lino, while they prefer walking to the old slow horse cars. Street rallw av consolidation is still a fruit ful subject for Fourth avenue gossips. About tho time of the passage of the bjll through tho Legislature legalizing this form ot pool ing, there was considerable speculation as to what Pittsburg roads were Involved. A gen tleman, presumed to be familiar with the subject, made some statements yesterday which are interesting in this connection. He said: "When tne bill passed it was in contemplation to consoli date the following roads: "Duquesne, Citizens', Pleasant Valley, Pittsburg, Alle gheny and Manchester and possibly Bir mingham. Central was loft out becauso It demanded terms which were Inadmissible, although it was supposed to be in the pool from the start. It was to be taken in, how ever, after being made to feel the power of tne comDinauon. mo geuuemun auaeu: "So far as I know and Delleve this Is the position of these roads to-day." He would not venture an opinion as to the probability or otherwise of this project being carried out, but. thought it more promising than many other things with which gossip is busy. In any event, the story is perhaps as good an explanation as any that could be given of the floating rumors affecting the standing and prospect of these properties. The Boston Traveller, ot Tuesday, says: "Up to the close of busloess yesterday 79,342 shares of the Westlnghouse Electric Coni- Sany's stock had been deposited with the orcantile Trust Company, of New York, under the plan of reorganization. Mr. West inghouse is in Boston to-day, and expressed himself as well pleased with the progress that,ls making toward a reorganization, and also with the favorable business outlook for the company." Leading brokers think that a big bull movement In stocks will begin within the next SO or 40 days, at the latest, if nothing occurs in the mean time to seriously damage the crops on this side, and its real start will be on tho appearance of the Government crop report at the beginning of July, al though they expect to see tho coming rise discounted a little in advance. Thevarsrue that there will be a market In Europe for all our surplus crops, and that our credit has been so strengthened there by the gold we have shipped, without disturbing our own market, that a large foreign demand for our securities is sure to follow. There seems to be good foundation for the report of a big deal in local stocks one that will lay the lvountz deal in the shade. A gentleman supposed to be on the inside ad mitted this much yesterday, but added that it wouldn't be ripe for perhaps three months. When asked if it involved any of the Westlnghouse Interests he was silent. Yesterday's sales were: First call No sales. Second call 10 Philadelphia Gas at 15& 50 Luster at 12, 15 Duquesne Traction at 15, 100 SUverton Mining at IK- Third call No sales. Before call 100 Manchester Traction at 38.

A NARROW STOCK MARKET. MORE FIRMNESS SHOWN AND A STEADT TJPWAHD MOVEMENT. -A Better State of Affiiirs Abroad Induces Buying for the Long Account A Satis factory Bank Statement Looked for Sat urdayRailroad Bonds More Active. New Y'ork, June 11 The trading in about half a dozen stocks comprisied all thero was of interest in the stock market to-day, but among those shares a more decided firm tone prevailed during the greater portion of tho day and a more uniform upward move ment was established. If any thing, tho lato crop report was the stimulating influ ence and tho Grangers were the features of tho limited dealings, the Industrials taking a more subservient position in the market. The continued ease in .the money market, with the hotter aspect of affairs on the other -side of the ocean showing in an evident bullish temper nmonc the forehm nnerators. and the smallncss of tho exports of gold so J far this week, have gone far to stimulate some buying for tho long account and more to prevent operations for the short account of late. The general expectation now is that, it there is no material amount of gold ordered for Saturday's steamers, there will bo a very satisfactory bank statement and on this expectation there is no disposition to short tho lUt.to any appreciable extent. More encouragement was seen, however, to jnako a market on the domestic situation alone and foreign possibilities were ignored to a greater degree than usual of late, the Western operators buying the Grangers, and Boston, Atchison, cm the promise shown in tho crop report. Under these circumstances the'stooks which have been weakest of late, including Atchison, Burlington and Kock Island, naturally took the lead in the deal ings, but St. Paul, which was bought for Lon don account, and Chicago Gas, which was still bought by Chicago, were less prominent in the market. The trading element, as usual, were bearish, but had not the courage to make any marked demonstration against the list and the firm tone was not seriously interrupted,although the limited buyingwas not sufficient to make any material upward movement In the list, The opening of the market was made at full and irregular changes from last night's figures, but the firmness, which remained the one feature of tho day, was soon devel oped and continued to mark the dealings throughout. Tho most prominent move ment was In Burlington, which at one time was as much as P4 per cent abovo last night's prico, and most of this was retained at the close. Atchison and Rock Island w;ere close followers of tho leader, but at no time were the prices better than the opening fig ure. St. Paul, Chicago, Louisville, and Chi cago Gas were also active, but were kept within the narrowest limits throughout the day, and final changes, even in the more prominent shares, are insignificant. The market closed' dull and steady at about the highest prices. Railroad bonds were a little more ani mated to-dav, the sales of all reaching $439, 000, but the tone of the dealings was the same monotonous level of steadiness.

Ohio creamery quota tions nre advanced. Eggs are in full supply, and prices are a shade lower. Sales of fresh eggs are reported a shade below 17c. Tho depression Is due to large receipts of held ovor Ohio river eggs, large quantities of which are. of dubious freshness. Pittsburg prices varyvery little from those of Chicago, whero markets were quoted, yesterday at 16JJc per dozen. Views of produce men dif fer as to value of choice old potatoes. Some report markets firm at $2 per bushel, while others nre willing to sell the best nt $175. There has been a great scarcity of good stock all this week. Receipts of Southern vegetables are large, particularly beans, peas and cabbage, and prices tend toward a lower level.
